Notes about the National University of Singapore,

National University of Singapore (NUS) is Singapore’s flagship university. It was founded as a modest medical school in 1905 by a determined group of businessmen led by Tan Jiak Kim, to serve the needs of the local community. Nowadays NUS is highly regarded for the hallmark rigour and breadth of its academic programmes, innovative entrepreneurship education, and experiential learning. It ranks as Asia’s top university on 2019 QS World University Rankings.
